Bengals' Jake Fisher says Frank Pollack's style is helping him

Frank Pollack is a popular guy among Cincinnati Bengals offensive linemen.

We heard rumblings about the new offensive line coach making an impact on his guys last month after taking over for Paul Alexander, who now holds the same position in Dallas.

More proof has emerged at OTAs, with right tackle Jake Fisher even admitting the change has helped him on the field, per Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com:

“His fourth mandatory is the first under new offensive line coach Frank Pollack and Fisher says Pollack’s no-gray-area style has helped him. On Tuesday it appeared they weren’t asking Fisher to do a lot in team …”

Rumblings of Pollack mixing everything up aren’t new. Players have already admitted he’s using training equipment they haven’t seen before and the way he carries himself and practices are the exact opposite of Alexander:

As for Fisher, he’s still working his way back from offseason heart surgery. He’ll battle at least Bobby Hart for his starting gig on the right side of the line, though a surge from Cedric Ogbuehi could make it a three-man competition.

Either way, Pollack’s different approach is clearly having a positive impact. After last year’s disaster of a performance, the change is clearly welcome by players and beyond.
